<div>Stephen - you are right in your last remark. "Content" might
refer to anything, including the sales of karaoke. :D<br></div>

<span>I'd love to know the value of movie exports and presumably
that was estimated by JETRO, VIPO, etc, when pushing for their
budgets. But given how difficult it is to get timely and detailed
box office data in Japan, I imagine the numbers you're looking for
might not be so forthcoming. (That US$300m Cool Japan fund should
license Kogyo Tsushin's historical data for industry use. How can
one hope to have a professional film industry in any country
without transparent box office?)</span>

<div><span>In South Korea, sales companies give the actual dollar
numbers for each film by territory to the Korean Film Council in
confidence, who publish aggregated numbers on the annual percentage
change in sales, including overages. They can also break it don by
territory, to see how sales to Germany, etc, is faring. But looking
at last years total export value, which grew 83.7% on 2012, is
pretty meaningless without knowing what Weinstein paid for
SNOWPIERCER.</span></div>
<div><span><br></span></div>
<div><span>It would be fascinating to have annual figures in Japan
going back several years, if only to see the effectiveness of the
subsidies going to sales companies at markets, etc. Surely it's the
best indicator of their success. <span>I'd be careful of the
word "content" as it's too vague and government departments might
define it more broadly than is useful.</span></span>

<div dir="ltr">Hi! Which source do you suggest I find reliable
yearly figures in terms of finding the export value of content
industry in all and movie export - and is there a special figure
for remake export value?
